This passage came from the Anrakugyo chapter of the Lotus Sutra:

[Tan Elaine]

This passage came from the Anrakugyo chapter of the Lotus Sutra:
“Anyone who reads this sutra will at all times be free of worry and anxiety; likewise he will be without illness or pain, his expression fresh and bright. He will not be born in poverty or want, in humble or ugly circumstances….If people speak ill and revile him, their mouths will be closed and stopped up. He will stroll about without fear like the lion king.”

Shouldn't it be 'comes' instead and, if so, why, please?

Thanks.

 

[bhaisahab]

Not necessarily, no.

 

[Tdol]

In most contexts, I would use comes, though.

 

[Rover_KE]

We need context, Tan Elaine, by which I mean 'Who wrote the title sentence, and why?'
